A grand banquet hall with round tables set with flowers, glassware, and purple menus. Gold chairs surround the tables, and the room is lit with purple lighting and large arched windows in the background.

We cordially invite you to join us at the 2027 Presidential Gala, taking place at the iconic Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City during Annual Conference week, on Thursday, January 21, 2027. The evening will open with a vibrant cocktail reception from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., followed by an elegant dinner from 8:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.

We are also delighted to announce that the extraordinary Cheryl Wills, award‑winning journalist, author, and celebrated NY1 anchor, will serve as Mistress of Ceremonies. Her dynamic presence, storytelling brilliance, and deep respect for the legal profession will bring unforgettable energy to the evening.

The highlight of this black‑tie celebration will be the presentation of the Gold Medal Award, the highest honor bestowed by the Association. The 2027 recipient will be announced at a later date, but the significance of this moment, especially as we continue to celebrate our 150th anniversary year, cannot be overstated.
